Nokia, being one of the top cell phone manufacturer has had its own researchers to work on something seriously cool. Nokia is now looking into developing a stretchable electronic skin that could be flexibly adopted to their future cell phone. According to the latest information, the electronic skin is not only flexible and foldable. The skin could also be stretched about 20 percent of its original size without damaging the internal functionality!

The Stretchable electronic skin is using an evaporated gold as the main conductor to send information between each functionality to the cell phone. The video below show you the elastic touchpad, which is one of the prototype of the stretchable electronic skin:

This is very interesting. If Nokia successfully developed this elastic skin, the future Nokia phones are going to be a great handset!
